To improve transparency and ensure that donors claiming deduction under Section 133(1)(b)(ii) are genuinely contributing to registered and compliant NPOs, the Income Tax Department has made it mandatory for such NPOs to file an annual statement of donations (Form No. 113) and issue a certificate of donation (Form No. 114) to each donor. Form No. 113 is annual statement to be filed by every NPO registered under section 354. The form must contain the following details of the donors along with the donation received during the financial year:
The Form 113 must be filed electronically on the Income Tax portal and submitted on or before 31st May of the immediately following Tax year (unless revised by Income Tax Department). The form must be digitally signed or verified through electronic verification code by the authorized signatory.
Key points to be noted:
Form 114 is a certificate of donation issued to each donor based on the information filed in Form 113. This certificate allows the donor to claim deduction under Section 133(1)(b)(ii). The NPO must issue Form No. 114 to each donor on or before 31st May of the immediately following financial year.
As per Section 429(b), failure to file Form 113 & non-issuance of Form No. 114 within the prescribed time attracts a late fee of Rs. 200 per day of default. Additionally, penalty under Section 464(b) may also be levied by the Assessing Officer, which can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 for:
